The Truth Well snoken.

Sioux Falls Mail: We seldom pick
pick up an exchange these days but we
find short and pointed article on the
merits of advertising. It is admitted
that advertising is to be commended
especially by the printer-as great
medium of communication between
the buyer and seller, but is this repeat
ed prodding, given to the business men
by the country papers, calculated to in
crease their supportp As rule the
business men know the advantages of
advertising through the newspapers as
well as the newspapers themselves do,
but they are averse to being whipped
Or driven into the policy against their
will. When a firm inserts an lad" in a
paper they do SO with the expectation
of a return with interest, and they
ought not to be required to fill vacant
space in paper unless they think it
viii pay them. Advertising unques-
tioIably pays, but he who has the wares
to dispose Of and foot the bills, should
have more to say In the matter than he

a Brilliant OrntOr

Bismarck Tribune: At certain Da-
kota town the Fourth of July Grafton
was delivered froma large wagon which
had canvas canopy and had been used
in the parade to convey the girls repre-
senting the states. The prayer was of
good length, and before the declaration
of Independence had been read many
Of the audience had dispersed. The
orator then arose and spoke for a half
hour without stopping for breath. BY
this time the scorching sun and the
speech showed effects upon the audi
ence, and as the last man began to move
away the orator shouted:
'Hi there, Patsy, hitch the horses on
to this wagon quicker n chain lightning.
Hurry up! Fasten those lines! Snap
that tug! There, now, jump in and put
the whip to the animals and if I don't
finish this speech it'll be because the
burned hosses can't keep up with the
audience.

The Canton improvement company,
a proposed organization that only
awaits reasonably fair recognition
from the council to perfect it's organi-
zation, has presented sproposition
that We believe the city council would
do well to accept. They offer to put in
complete system of waterworks ard
furnish andkeep in good repair sixteen
fire hydrants for an annual rental of
$50 for each hydrant. All above six
teen will be operated for $25 each. The
company would want right of way
through the public streets, and also
asks for a twenty year lease under the
above terms, with the proviso that the
city must release or buy at the expir-
alton of that time. The company also
asks for an exclusive franchise for the
operation of gas and electric light
works and for the establishment of
telephone exchange.
We believe that local company can
conduct a system Of waterwOrks more
successfully and upon cheaper basis
than could the city. In the first place,
it would require an immediate outlay
of over $4,000 to put in the system,
and the interest on this at the very best
rate would be $500 per annum. It.
would more likely cost from $4,000 to
$25,O0O. and the city would have an ad-
ditional Indebtedness that is really un-
necessary For $500 per year the city
can ENJOY good fire protection, without
the usual series of litigation and water
rental steals that arc 50 liable to creep
into d city government. We say let
this company. or any other organization,
have the electric light, gas and tele
phone franchise. if they want it, and
possibly something will then be
done in the matter. Under the present
state of affairs without water and
without fire protection of any kind
there is great deal of cause for some
loud thinking.

An Editors Advice.

Yankton Press: The westward march
of the chinch bug is a cause of alarm
in the wheat growing sections of Dako-
ia. Illinois and Iowa are swarming
with this pest, and Dakota is not entire-
ly exempt from its presence. The ex
pectation for next year is that the
chinch bug will devastate the wheat
fields of our territory. A county is sell

farmers Of this section will avoid

A Fair Man I'm All Thingg

Yankton Press: Delegate Clifford is
charged with violation of promise in
appointing Phil S. Campbell, of Sioux
Falls, to the West Point military school.
1t is alleged that he said he would give
all the boys of Dakota a chance through
competitive examination and that he
made the appointment in violation of
this agreement. We know nothing
about this matter, but it is more than
probable that Delegate Clifford has an
explanation which will fully vindicate
him. He is fair man in all things.

A Neat Bit OF Flattery,

He appeared suddenly at the door OF fash,

ing bland smile and seersucker suit.
The ladies were all grouped on the veranda
in breakfast costumes
"Ladies," he said, doffing his hat "a gen.
tleman who boards here asked me to bring
tkis basket Of lilies and present it with his
compliments to the prettiest lady here"
There was a moments pause, and then a
maiden who had seen many summers asked
sharply;

The man made deprecatory bow.
"How can I, miss! He forgot to give me
any address, and couldn't pick out one from
30 many"
"What did he look liker asked all the la

refectively. "1f the lady he meant will pick
herself out, I'll give her the lilies," and he
twirled one fragrant bud in bis hand.

them," murmured sweet old thing who
knew she was the 'one' meant

The basket was soon emptied. At dinner
every lady wore lily in her hand or at her
belt, and Mr.. -- and Capt. - were smiled
upon by turns by the whole posse of female
